TOUR OF EGYPT September 29 through October 15, 2000
Experience Initiation into the Egyptian Mystery Tradition
with Normandi Ellis, Nicki Scully, and Jane Bell
Egypt has always seemed to be our spiritual home, the home of our civilization. It is where one goes to instill the vision of the soul's own transformative power, a place of communing with one's deep longing, a place to find and recommit to one's soul task. Highly charged by over 3,000 years of spiritual practice, the sacred sites link us with the presiding divine intelligences through the physical and spiritual landscape of Egypt. Through guided meditations, prayers and spiritual practice, we will tap into the joyful mysteries that inspired generations of ancient Egyptians to undergo that mystical journey of rebirth. Prepare to change. Prepare to ask and learn, to receive and to give and to commune with the guardian intelligence of every tomb and temple, every tree, rock and cloud. Isis and Osiris and all the divine beings of Egypt will be our spiritual guides. There is no greater calling than to say a holy Yes! to the soul's urge to Become.
